Goodbye

The day was here, Not anticipated, nor wished for. My heart was aching, Like a bleeding wound. The sun was blazing hot On the beaches of Lake-town, Trying to cover up The gloomy days ahead. Tears were held back By the Hoover Dam. I wanted the day To be a never ending day, Like a winding river Heading upstream Traveling back in time And reliving all the memories That would soon be behind me. The evening was quiet Because we knew the end was near. He pulled the covers over me Tucked me in, kissed my forehead. It was time to say goodbye.
